Heater core - where to source?

[m0l0t0v]

So my heater core is leaking. Only slightly but I can smell antifreeze through the fans. I know you basically have to remove the centre console among other things but can't seem to find where to buy a heater core...

 

I'd rather have a new one rather than getting a second hand one from a scrap car. Surely they can't be too much since a new rad is like £50...

Seriously tho assuming the car it's come from was in good health.

A used matrix will be fine.

I had to do this job myself a number of years back. Had a leak in the passenger foot well. 

Paid around a tenner for a used rover 45 matrix. And changed it across 2 evenings. Full dash out job.
